I'm sure he didn't write this but at least his office responded. Ole Sherrod 'Columbo' Brown didn't even bother to respond.

Dear Rocky,

Thank you for contacting me regarding Marine Lieutenant Colonel (LtCol) Stuart Scheller. It is good to hear from you.

As you are aware, on September 27 LtCol Stu Scheller, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was arrested and confined to the brig aboard Camp Lejeune, North Carolina for violating a gag order after he posted videos criticizing the Biden administration’s evacuation from Afghanistan. I am pleased to report that LtCol Scheller has been released from the brig as of October 5th . His case will now proceed to a preliminary hearing to consider whether charges should be recommended to his command.

As I have stated, the Biden Administration must be held accountable for the rushed and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan—a withdrawal that put our troops, Afghans who have helped us, and our NATO allies in danger, and risks giving terrorists safe haven to attack us again. LtCol Scheller’s calls for accountability are warranted in the wake of the poor strategic decisions that contributed to the tragic deaths of 13 service members on August 25th, including Fleet Marine Force Corpsman Max Soviak of Berlin Heights, Ohio.

I will keep your views in mind as I continue to track his case.

Thank you for interest in this issue. For more information, you may visit my website at www.portman.senate.gov .


Sincerely,

Rob Portman
U.S. Senator
